kianhong 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 No lah, Iggy. Where got so lucky to get in. Just that the 'beast' parked very close to the fence infront of us. Here's one more - AN124-100 (UR-82027) from Antonov Design Bureau. Didn't get the landing shot cause she landed immediately after rwy changed to 21. Prior to An124's arrival, we were waiting at the 03 approach and caught these side dishes. Sorry about the light. Winter weather came a bit early this year, I guess. Thanks for viewing. Enjoy.

KC Sim 2 Report post Posted April 20, 2008 From the images here, Perth does not seem to be the world's most isolated city at all. It seems to be getting all the goodies - plus the special jets. KC Sim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kianhong 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 Awesome set of pix there, Liam! Especially like the DC-8. Went over to the international terminal to get the C-130 before meeting up with Liam. But instead of shooting the C-130 with its butt facing me , I got this. Hehehe... Bravo X-ray operated as QF72 from SIN city. Nope... she wasn't taxiing to the wrong terminal. Big Nose. Big Bling!
